Listen Later

Old Friends Mark Trevorrow, Rupert Noffs and Bev Kennedy have much in common; great musicianship and their love of Stephen Sondheim’s extraordinary songbook. They have crafted an intimate evening of cabaret celebrating the late, great composer/lyricist’s vast cannon. OLD FRIENDS! features solos, duets, mashups and medleys, with light hearted banter and stories in between. It is a classy, superbly played and sung show with a cheeky queer bent.

Bev Kennedy is one of Australia’s leading musicians and Musical directors having worked on over 30 Professional music theatre productions including Billy Elliot, Mamma Mia!, The Producers, We Will Rock You, The Lion King, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Chicago, Muriel’s Wedding, Heathers, Jersey Boys, Wicked & The Concert version of Sunset Boulevard with Judi Conelli. As Assistant Musical Director she has worked on Simon Gallaher’s Pirates of Penzance; the highest selling recording of a musical in Australian history & also won an Aria award for best soundtrack.  

Rupert Noffs is a singer and actor trained at NIDA and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. As the grandson of the legendary Ted Noffs, founder of Kings Cross’ Wayside Chapel, he carries a significant artistic legacy. Rupert discovered his love for Stephen Sondheim at 16, performing “Being Alive” at the Sydney Opera House. Rupert has appeared on screen as Jacki Weaver’s son and played Bob Downe’s nephew, in both Sydney and San Francisco.

During his seven years living and working in Manhattan, Rupert collaborated with New York cabaret legend Amber Martin at Joe’s Pub and Parkside Lounge. He was a judge on Seven’s All Together Now hosted by Julia Zemiro, and performed sold-out one-man shows at Claire’s Kitchen on Oxford Street.”

Comedian, singer, actor, broadcaster and journalist, Mark Trevorrow’s 40+ year journey through Australian media and show business has taken him from the Melbourne Herald Sun, to cabaret group The Globos, to arts editor of Vogue Australia, to the creation of Bob Downe in 1984, to acting in Kath & Kim, singing as himself on Good News Week and broadcasting on ABC TV and local radio – then back to Bob again. His work has taken him from Australia to Edinburgh to London to New York, and it’s not over yet!

OLD FRIENDS! is touring through November with dates in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, and Melbourne. Check out the team’s Instagram page - oldfriendssingsondheim
